FBI and DOJ investigators have met with a whistleblower who claimed he was ordered to “find crimes” committed by President Trump.
As previously reported, a federal prosecutor blew the whistle on New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office and said he was ordered to “find crimes” committed by President Trump and people affiliated with Trump – despite zero evidence.
According to the Times Union, Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld sent an agency-wide email to thousands of employees in the New York Attorney General’s office claiming his supervisor, Shamiso Maswoswe instructed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger) … without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”
The Times Union obtained the email that was sent out on Friday. The email was immediately deleted and wiped from the office’s servers.
Daniel Wiesenfeld wrote a follow-up email after his original message was deleted.
“If you believe Trump is using (Department of Justice) attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish (James) is doing exactly the same thing,” Wiesenfeld wrote, according to the Times Union.
“I ask that you not serve as Tish’s personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies. Instead, I hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the individuals accountable, rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes,” he wrote.
Daniel Wiesenfeld is now singing to the DOJ and FBI, according to The New York Post.
The New York Post reported:
The whistleblower in Attorney General Letitia James’ office who said he was ordered to dig up dirt on President Trump met with federal prosecutors for “several hours” Tuesday, sources said.
Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor and a lawyer in James’ office, had a lengthy sit-down with both criminal and civil attorneys from the FBI and the US Department of Justice over his bombshell claims, the sources told The Post.
The extent of the feds’ interest in the case is unclear.
Letitia James previously sued President Trump and tried to secure a $400 million+ judgment against him and seize his assets, even though no victim was identified.
Last year, Letitia James was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.
According to the DOJ, Letitia James was charged with two crimes: Bank Fraud under 18 U.S.C. Section 1344 and False Statements to a Financial Institution under 18 U.S.C. Section 1014.
A federal judge ultimately dropped the charges against Letitia James, ruling that Interim US Attorney for the EDVA Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed.
